90% Amnesia
By Stephen Green asserts that to find a president criticizing the Supreme Court you have to go back to Old Hickory. (And his quote is actually apocryphal, although since it’s “fake but true” I’ll give him a pass.) But, of course, there are many more recent examples, some least of which come from Saint Reagan. And Roe was joined by the extra-unassailable Chief Justice — heavens to betsy! The other obvious problem is that Obama never said he wouldn’t comply with the Court’s ruling, making the analogy with Jackson null.
The remainder of his argument he delegates to Glenn Reynolds, who claims that responding to Roberts’s whining is bad politics for Obama while failing to mention that the Court’s decision is extremely unpopular. Unlike Reynolds, Obama knows exactly what he’s doing here.
